Anyone that has a Blackberry cell phone knows that your Blackberry is much more than a simple mobile phone. There is a lot of additional functionality that is available in it. Other than using the standard Microsoft Outlook integration functionality, I had never installed any third party software on my Blackberry 8700 series.

However, on my recent trip to Hawaii I was in need of a map and the web browser versions of Map Quest, Yahoo! Maps, and Google Maps were just not cutting it. So, I decided to download some free software onto my Blackberry – Google Mobile Maps (GMM) for the Blackberry.

The results were impressive, quick and easily viewable maps that helped to give me directions – all wirelessly from my Blackberry. Here is the how to, with screen shots on how to install Google Maps GMM.
